Wednesday, December 9

Well, Christmas has arrived in Minnesota (My apologies to those that may be reading in a warmer state)! I spent most of my morning outside with my 3-year-old daughter making snow angels and attempting to shovel the blowing snow since our snow blower died. I know I will not be popular when I say this, but I love the snow! I really can’t imagine living in any other state, especially during the holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a huge fan of bundling up the kids day in and day out, but the look on their faces when they got up this morning is worth it all. Imagine, for a moment, being a child again. What would you feel like if you woke up with all this fresh white stuff to run in, taste on your tongue or slide down? As adults our worlds get so busy with all of our to-dos that we can miss the unbelievable beauty that God has created-the snow! I know I was supposed to talk about gift-giving today, but I am going to let that wait until tomorrow. . .for today-I challenge you to go be a kid again with your children. Push back all those thoughts and reasons why you shouldn’t go outside and jump in. Call your kids, bundle up and have fun! May you enjoy this beautiful winter day that the Lord has made-we will rejoice and be glad in it!

What is a Homemaker with Hope?

In Proverbs it says that a wise woman BUILDS her home. That is the foundation of Homemakers with Hope.
But what does it mean to be a wise woman? We've found that just growing older doesn't make you wise. We've realized that it takes a lot of work and focus.
So our desire is that this blog would be a resource for everyday life. From cooking to organizing to family relationships, we'll cover it all.
We'll provide affirmation, encouragement, and from time to time something that challenges you to pursue excellence.
Won't you join us on this journey?
